One extra consideration users should think about is that Facebook's location tracking services are one of the biggest drains on battery power. When enabling this, just make sure that you are using it when you want to connect and turning it off when you aren't interested in being tracked.

I have a feeling that the majority of users will want Facebook to lock their location data up and throw away the key, if Facebook manages to utilize location data with care then maybe in a few years users will share their location data as readily as they share their city location today on Facebook.

It is interesting to ponder upon the things that Facebook can do with a time-lapsed trace map of a user, for example, Facebook could suggest new friends by overlapping two trace maps of users and could deliver ads of coffee shops for instance, to users that they know have traveled a certain path/street. I don't think that something like this would create any harm. However, I will give it some time before giving it a try.

As InformationWeek Government readers were busy firming up their fiscal year 2015 budgets, we asked them to rate more than 30 IT initiatives in terms of importance and current leadership focus. No surprise, among more than 30 options, security is No. 1. After that, things get less predictable.
